QUESTION

Is it possible to find these somewhere in Cape Town. I have an excellent gnocchi recipe using orange sweet potatoes but can't find them anywhere in Cape Town? thanks Sam

ANSWER

I honestly haven't ever come across the wording 'orange sweet potato' in a recipe, but perhaps this refers to the colour of the flesh (which is more orange-coloured than normal potatoes) than the type of sweet potato (which we also call 'patat'). I would think that any old sweet potato would do.
